Linens, dishes, towels, cleaning supplies, electronic equipment (televisions), are
not provided. If this is your first time away from home, less is better! Communicate
with your roommates on who will bring kitchen/living room items before you arrive.

Weapons, drugs (possession of illegal drugs may result in removal of housing and loss of any fees
that have been paid), alcohol, halogen lamps, candles, gas or charcoal grills, incense, and animals are
not allowed. The best rule of thumb is, if you are not sure it is allowed, either
do not bring it or call us beforehand. Please do not use 2 sided sticky tapes for
personalizing of your room. At South Campus Place, you may use small nails and in
Boling, Johnson Obear, Lockmiller and Stagmaier you may use removable adhesive putty.

Everyone is allowed to bring their own car and to purchase parking passes to any of
the available lots on campus. Contact Parking Services at (423) 425-4051 or Parking Services Website for more information.

By default, all housing contracts are for the academic year (Fall and Spring semester).
Our policy states:

“CANCELLATION (Resident): Housing facilities are rented for the academic year beginning
on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date. No Resident may withdraw
from the housing except in case of extreme necessity and approved by the University.
Cancellation of registration or academic suspension does not automatically release
the Resident from the contract. Subletting by the Resident is not permitted. Students
should submit their request to break their nine month housing contract by filling
out the "Housing Cancellation Request" form located through Manage My Housing. Residents
who are permitted to break their housing contract will be subject to a fee.”

As discussed above,you will need to log into your Manage My Housing and submit a "Housing Cancellation Request" if you wish to submit a request to break
your contract. If you are approved by our office to break your contract, in most cases
a housing fee equivalent to one month's rent will still be assessed for all upperclassmen.

“RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS: All first year Freshmen are required to live on campus.
Students may apply for an exception if they: live within a 45 mile radius, are married
and / or have a child(ren), have medical condition preventing them from living in
a campus environment.”

Freshmen requesting to be released from Housing must remember that they are required
to live on campus for one academic year. Freshmen withdrawing from housing will be
assessed a fee for terminating your contract. Fee charges will be the equivalent to
the remaining monies due on your housing contract for the academic year. If you have
any questions, please call us so we can provide any additional information you may
need to make an informed decision: (423) 425-4304.
